  • bought a trowel and fork set in tk maxx recently
    trowel has broken
    not sure they are the place for decent non clothing items ... are they ?

  • Depends. My girlfriend is a buyer for TK so I have the inside track on what's what, some stuff is old dead stock and some stuff is made to order. And then some stuff is commissioned and then also sold by the original retailer. And then some brands are TK Maxx by another name.

    What I do is grab the thing off the shelf, put it my basket and Google it to check the rrp, customer reviews etc. Also TK do mail order which not a lot of people think they would but this tends to be lines where they have large amounts to sell, the best bits imo are end of line high-end brands but these tend to end up in the premium stores.

    TK also have shops called 'Homesense' which are the same principle, basically no clothes but garden and kitchen stuff although I've never been that impressed compared to a larger TK Maxx. And as someone who has visited most stores within 30 miles of London I can say the best for cookware are the Purley Way store, Bromley and Lewisham. #csb

    Ps, return that shit, I've never seen them quibble a refund.
